7 Ways WWE Can Reintroduce The Hardy Boyz
Brothers Hardy, WWE knew you'd come. But how should they return?
Matt and Jeff Hardy are officially through with TNA. The brothers experienced euphoric highs and depressing lows during their time with the company now known as Impact Wrestling, but with their departure confirmed by all sides, fans of professional wrestling can get down to the important task at hand - fantasy booking Mat and Jeff's inevitable return to WWE.
The smart money suggests that The Hardys will find themselves on the WWE roster sooner rather than later - but never has there been a wider range of possibilities when it comes to booking their return. A lot has changed in WWE since the brothers left in 2009 and 2010 respectively - new stars have been born and old ones have returned - but the prevailing belief is that Matt and Jeff will be coming back for more than just a nostalgia run.
Here are seven ways that WWE can go about reintroducing Team Xtreme in 2017.
7. Bring Them In As The Broken Hardys
It is highly unlikely - no matter how much fans may want it to happen - that Matt and Jeff Hardy will return to WWE as the Broken Hardys. Matt's wacky creation may still have legs on the independent scene, but it was clearly running out of steam on TNA TV. It may well be for the best. The gimmick thrived because of the control Matt had over it, so giving some of that up to WWE's creative team would more than likely spell disaster.
The flipside of that is that in WWE, The Broken Hardys could well find themselves with a production budget that matches their imagination. WWE has often said that it is in the business of making movies through action theatre, and while the Indy-feel of the Final Deletion and its sequels may have been one of their most endearing aspects, there will surely be some curiosity as to what Broken Matt could create with a WWE budget.
There also happens to be a ready made weirdo feud waiting to happen, one that has been hinted at on social media over the last year or so. The Wyatt Family may be on the verge of extinction, but WWE's summer may well benefit from the extinction becoming a deletion. A weirdo feud between The Broken Hardys and The Wyatts is the stuff of fantasy booking dreams, after all.
